Chapter 286

At this moment, within Yashiro Island.

Kujou Sara stood in the room, staring at the bizarre lightning, her mind filled with question marks.

She knew that the General had gone to find Su Han.

She just hadn't expected recruiting someone to turn into a sparring match.

Moreover, judging by the current situation, it seemed the General was at a disadvantage!

But was it really like that?

The General shouldn't be at a disadvantage...

She simply couldn't imagine it.

The image of the General being defeated.

However, from the changes in the lightning and the volume of the sound, one could judge the General's condition.

For instance, the thunderclap that had nearly ended just now.

It sounded almost like whimpering.

Although the description wasn't entirely accurate.

Still... Kujou Sara had this feeling, after all, she had served the Raiden Shogun for some years.

Just by looking at the lightning, she could guess how the General was feeling.

At this moment, Sangonomiya Kokomi in the room asked, "Lord Tengu, may we continue our negotiations? I am already feeling a bit sleepy."

"I wish to finish the negotiations early; tomorrow I still need to give an account to Watatsumi Island."

"Alright! I'll be right there..."

Kujou Sara returned to the negotiation table.

Looking at the conditions already agreed upon on the blackboard to the side, she said, "Regarding your self-defense forces, what actions will you take?"

"It is like this: military command can be handed over to you! However... the Sangonomiya Shrine and the Muneyuki Shrine will be guarded by our people, who will serve as protectors."

"To protect these two places."

"This is my bottom line. Without any means of self-defense, I do not know how to persuade everyone on the island!"

Currently, the people of Yashiro Island had submitted.

Next, she needed to persuade Watatsumi Island, but if they were to abandon all resistance.

That would simply be unrealistic.

Therefore, a small amount of troops must be retained.

This was her final request.

Kujou Sara thought for a moment and said, "Actually, handing over the management of Watatsumi Island to you is acceptable. We hold military power and will station soldiers, but you have administrative rights. In daily life, we won't interfere with each other..."

"Really? That would be wonderful..."

Sangonomiya Kokomi hadn't expected.

The other party's terms to be so lenient.

It was too surprising.

Kujou Sara nodded and smiled, saying, "After all, your attitude is very sincere, and... directly demanding administrative rights, our people don't understand your customs anyway."

"Separate management is actually the best choice."

"In the future, once everyone gets used to it."

"Your people can even join the Shogunate, becoming part of those who protect Inazuma..."

"Then thank you, Lady Kujou Sara!"

"No, just call me Kujou Sara! We will be working together in the future, both striving for the prosperity of Inazuma...."

"Yes, Kujou Sara!"

Sangonomiya Kokomi extended her hand, revealing a relieved smile.

Both parties shook hands and made peace.

The divided situation also came to a halt.

Time quickly passed to the early morning of the next day.

When Kaedehara Kazuha and the others woke from their sleep,

the thunderstorm outside Inazuma had vanished at some unknown point.

The sky was incredibly bright.

The purple wall of lightning that could previously be seen easily

made Kaedehara Kazuha rub his eyes, still unable to believe that the Sakoku Decree had actually disappeared like this!

The terrifying barrier of lightning that had existed clearly yesterday

had now vanished without a trace.

"Miss Mo Na, Miss Shen He, wake up... something huge has happened!!! The thunderstorm in Inazuma has disappeared..."

"What? Is it true..."

The girl sleeping in the tent

transformed her body into bubbles and disappeared.

When she reappeared, she was already in the sky.

Mo Na gazed into the distance.

Then, she surprisingly discovered a fleet of ships slowly approaching from afar.

Moreover, she was very familiar with that flag.

It was Beidou's Southern Cross Fleet!!!

"I didn't expect this... Su Han is truly formidable, actually managing to settle things with the Raiden Shogun, and... Sister Beidou arrived so quickly, quite impressive..."

Mo Na hurriedly opened the All-Heavens Mission Group chat.

She asked about the situation inside.

Mo Na: "What's going on today? We just took a nap, and Sister Beidou has already come to Inazuma..."

Beidou "May Seventh": "Hah? I was about to ask you! Someone told me early this morning that the thunderstorm in Inazuma was gone, so I had to hurry over to do business!

I've already handed over long-distance operations to Hai Long.

But for short trips like this, I have to handle them personally..."

Ganyu: "According to reports from the front lines: at six in the morning, fishing fishermen saw the thunderstorm in Inazuma continuously weakening until it completely disappeared by half past six.

Upon receiving the news, I immediately reported it to Ning Guang.

She judged that the Raiden Shogun of Inazuma had lifted the Sakoku Decree.

She began mobilizing workers and merchants to head to Inazuma; Sister Beidou is merely the first batch..."

To make money,

one must naturally let their own people profit first.

Ning Guang's grasp of commercial opportunities

is truly unique.

Eula: "Hehe... we have also prepared our goods and are ready to head to Inazuma. We heard that Watatsumi Island has good items like pearls and coral.

It's just right to exchange for a batch."

Diluc: "My wine can be sold to Inazuma again. Is the captain for this trip Kaeya?"

Jean: "Yes... that guy said he wanted to see the scenery of Inazuma, so... he recruited dozens of ships and is preparing to depart from Eagle Soaring City.

If you want to sell, act quickly; they depart at noon."

Diluc: "Understood! I will arrange it immediately..."

Inazuma opening its borders

represents the biggest business opportunity.

Don't look down on them because they are poor now.

How poor can an entire country really be?

A fair trade.

It is mutually beneficial for everyone.

Shen He: "By the way, has Su Han woken up yet? After Lei Shen called him away yesterday, I haven't seen him since... I guess he was dragged into Musou no Hitotachi to spar."

Kamisato Ayaka: "Huh? Then... won't there be an accident? I heard Mr. Su Han exerted himself greatly yesterday. What if..."

Yae Miko: "What 'what if'! With Ei's introverted personality, do you expect her to say anything nice? She definitely attacked... though she would hold back.

That used to be how we communicated.

Leave a card or make a snide remark.

Then get slashed once and leave..."

Ningguang: "..."

Keqing: "..."

Hu Tao: "Truly a unique way of communicating. If one didn't run away in time, they'd lose their life..."

Xiangling: "Are you trying to be silly, Taotao! They'll hold back... Do you understand 'holding back'? Otherwise, if it were for real, I doubt even Yae Miko could dodge it."

After all, she is a god.

One must save some face.

Hu Tao: "Alright... But by the way, are you planning to go to Inazuma? It seems there isn't much gourmet food there. Opening a Wanmin Restaurant pastry shop should sell well?"

Xiangling: "Eh... You're right about that. But... let me wait until the sea train opens before I go. Actually, I think you could expand your business too.

So many people in Inazuma love fighting.

Who knows when someone might kick the bucket.

There's more business potential than in our Liyue..."

Hu Tao: "Hmm... Makes sense, really makes sense... Alright, I'll go to Inazuma with you later, hehe..."

A place like Inazuma.

Is very popular for duels and seppuku.

If I expanded my business there.

I could become the most popular in Inazuma in minutes!

Xiangling's mind works so fast, hehe...

At this moment, inside the Tenshukaku.

In Lei Shen's boudoir.

Su Han was sleeping soundly, embracing a woman with long purple hair.

Yesterday, he had been too "tired".

And it wouldn't do to end in a draw.

Fortunately, although Lei Shen was strong in combat, there were many things she did not know.

So, in the end, Su Han won smoothly.

However, they did not choose to rest on Narukami Island, but quietly returned to the Tenshukaku.

If one looked closely.

One could see that the eyelashes of the purple-haired woman in his arms were trembling restlessly.

Sufficient proof that she was actually awake.

But she still hadn't opened her eyes.

Half a while later, five minutes passed.

Su Han woke up first.

He stretched comfortably, his joints cracking loudly.

The Raiden Shogun beside him also slowly opened her eyes.

The two exchanged a glance.

Su Han noticed that although the Raiden Shogun was a puppet, there was still a hint of shyness in her eyes.

"You... woke up earlier than me, didn't you?"

"Yes, this body is divine; a few hours of deep sleep are sufficient. But... I heard from commoners that when a man and woman sleep together.

They should stay until dawn.

I followed this agreement.

It seems better this way."

The Raiden Shogun voiced her thoughts.

Since they had already reached this point.

She felt there was nothing left to hide.

Moreover, regarding official duties, she truly knew nothing.

Rather than waking early to work, it was more important to "please" him in this manner.

"Yes, indeed... After all, embracing each other strengthens the bond between husband and wife. By the way... would you like to change your hairstyle? Always tying it up like a whip.

Doesn't it look a bit monotonous?"

"As long as it doesn't affect combat... Do you want to play with it?"

"Yes, sometimes I style Shen He's hair too. It counts as marital intimacy... Come, let me fix it for you..."

"Okay."

The Raiden Shogun put on her coat.

And sat in front of the dressing table.

She allowed the person behind her to play with her long hair.

He untied her braids.

He gently rubbed them with water.

Then he applied the hair cream he had prepared; gods were different from humans, having no dandruff or such things.

Moreover, the Raiden Shogun's hair quality was exceptionally good.

After several rounds of grooming.

The reflection in the mirror slowly transformed into a familiar aura.

Her former majesty was replaced by a sense of gentleness...

Ei, hiding within the Plane of Euthymia.

Watched as Su Han treated the puppet with tenderness.

For some reason, she began to feel jealous.

Especially when the reflection in the mirror took on more of an older sister's vibe.

The Raiden Shogun said slowly, "This hairstyle isn't suitable for combat... but... I like it!"

"Hehe, see? I told you so..."

Su Han placed the final Gentian flower as an adornment on her head.

A Raiden Shogun who bore an striking resemblance to the previous Thunder God was thus born.

However, his joy did not last long.

A flash of lightning lit up the room.

Raiden Ei actually ran out from the Musou Isshin.

She looked at Su Han expressionlessly, turned around to face him with her back, and said, "I want my hair done too..."

Alright, this otaku girl watched Su Han serve the Raiden Shogun.

And she actually got jealous.

Regarding this, Su Han said nothing.

He simply repeated everything he had just done for the Raiden Shogun.

Doing the same for Ei.

By the time this round of service was finished, it was already eight in the morning.

A knocking sound came from outside.

Kujou Sara spoke from outside: "General, many merchants have arrived near Lidao... I need to report to you."
